pico:*blinks a few times*oh so thats how its going to be?*evil smile* mia:what are you planing..? pico:*swims closer* what little oh me? nothing…*suddenly pico dunks mias head underwater then pulls her right up* just thought you could use a bath

Snow: Actually, I was going to ask you if you could take godparenthood
of some of these. Only the ones that are worth it, mind you, like Q-33.2
over there. *he points to a massive bassin half filled with green liquid; in it, something flies in circles that looks like a feathered fish the size of a small pony with a saw-like long nose and leathery wings* I dunno if you can make something out of that, *points at the plant in the corner that's still failing to levitate* and as for the rest, well, that's what I'm working up just now. The smaller projects will likely go with me. The blueprints for our house do contain a room for a lab after all.

Doc: I'd be honered to take care of them for you. Along with anything else you feel can't come with. I mean there's no reason to scap all of these. All they need a small tweak here, a minor alteration there, I could get them all running at maxium efficency within a couple of days. 2 weeks at most. All I just need is time and to know what each of them are designed for/ supposed to do. care to give me a tour of what we all have?
*elsewhere*
Mia:*coughs and catches her breath* Pico come on I wasn't ready.*looks over his shoulder and sees Ann swimming towards them and smiles* but all is fair in love and war.*dunks him back*

Snow: *checks the list and proceeds to scratch his forehead with the other end of the pen* Ehh, it's not much, but why not. *walks over to Q-33.2* This one here still needs a working pair of lungs in addition to the gills. I'd say make it bigger but I'll leave that to you to decide. The plant? Yeah, the plant… *looks over to the corner were the object in question is located* I have no idea what to do with that. Mia asked me ages ago to create something like flying fauna for room decoration. You can see how it's going. Let's see… the Chaos Cola project is finished and ready for distribution, - several flavours and sizes available - I can leave you the protocols on the Duster Cat project here, however I think I got the last problems terminated. Then there are the protocols of finished projects, copied and stored in the lab archives, *he points over his shoulder to several locked closets* such as the DNA splitting procedure used on the Q project and others. *some more list items later* … and together with the yet failed device that was supposed to bend the molecular structure of any element on the Periodic Table at will, that should be about it. The rest goes with me, though I could copy the resources and protocols for you to use as well. And this… *he grabs a small metallic box about the size of an MP3 Player, just thicker, and hands it to doc* … is for you. It's an antimatter binder. With the energy and mass of antimatter at your disposal, you can do anything based on movement across space and time imaginable. Float, increase your weight, even distort the wavelength of time around you, in a limited scope. You can jump off mile high cliffs as if jumping down the last two steps of a staircase as well as push giant boulders out of the way.

pico: cough! ok ok you 2 win just dont gang up on me

Doc:…its very impressive. especially the last. Almost tempts me to finish my last project to fully simulate the face I want to add to my being. I have to say I couldn't be more proud to have worked near such a talented mind. …Wait, did you say you planed on distributing the Chaos cola? …If so, you may want to put a warning label on it.
Ann: does that mean you'll want these back?*holds up pico's trunks*

Snow: *walks over to the fridge and takes a Size F can out to toss it to doc* Convince yourself of the legality. Everything you need to know should be on the can. I may have worked in the capital crime department, yet am quite familiar with economical and consumer protection laws as well.

Doc: *reads all the health and safety measures on the back of the can* alright it seems you have the health warning down. Next question how public are we talking? will this be a Zot exclusive like my boxes, just in the mall on the 4th floor, or seen in every store around the world?

Snow: Only Zot at first. The stuff will sell, no doubt. But how well? I have to see that first. If it's going well, then why not take it out to the world? Although it would have to wait at least for so long until Zot is recognized as a friend to the world rather than a threat. Chaos Cola might just bring the wrong message out there when people would find out where it's from.

Doc: alright, smart move. and you've tested it on a female if I recall correct?
Snow: you know that answer.
Doc:alright well next question, has it been tested on a male subject yet? you never know when a accident will occur.

Snow: No, and I don't intend to. Ordinary Chaos Cola has existed out there for a long time, if a guy wants to drink it, he should be smart enough to get the normal version. That's what the line on each can is for that no one involved in the process of making and distributing it can be held liable for effects it may take on males. *shrug* Not my business if someone is too stupid to tell normal and special version apart.

Doc: well it seems you have all te bases covered. Alright then, best of luck with the product. anyway, beforeI go,*pulls out a file, several dozen botle caps, a couple bottlesof vodka ,rum, wine, gin, and scotch along with a picture of a cat* care to join me in a little Drunk Science?

Snow: *dazzled* Of course, I-I'd be most honored to!

Doc: well then,*grabs some glasses and a few mugs and pours a few rounds for him and Snow grabing a glass* to Science!
Snow:*grabs a glass*to Science!
Both: *clink*Proust! *drink up*
*Elsewhere*
Val:well my shift's over. best head back and change.

pico:*blushes* give that back! *starts chaseing Ann*

Ann:*swims around the area as pico gives chase*uh-uh you'll have to catch me first.*heads over towards Mia and dives under*

Snow: *after finishing another mug of which he doesn't even know the content* Hey doc, what do you think… *gestures at his own body, bare except for the gloves and boots* What clothes will I end up in? Last time it was a dress, if I recall right.

pico:this isnt funny Ann!*starts swimming* give it back now!*stops as a idea popped in his head* *he teleports infront of her and snatches his trunks* thank you

Doc: hard to say really, it differs everytime, who knows you may even wake up stark nude with a lampshade on your head.
Snow:*looks around*but there are no lamps in here.
Doc:exactly.
*next door*
Val:*hears a commotion as she gets changed going on in the other room* the heck?(…part of me says to stay away, but curosity says go for it.)…*walks over to the door and enters*
*at the springs*
Ann: *mumbles*spoilsport.
Mia:oh pico will you relax?its just us 3. what's a little fun between friends?

pico:*rollseyes then puts trunks on* not when you try to strip me

Mia: alright Pico we won't do it again.(well, no promises if you win the tournament.)
Pico:*blushes* thanks…
Ann:I don't know about you 2 but I'm kind of getting hungry.want to head up and eat?

pico:im starveing!*runs out the door*

Snow: *looks at the door and sees Val entering* Ey~ beautiful! *he points at her while looking at doc* There's the hottest piece of tail on this whole gawddamn world- … ehh, what am I saying, in the whole freaking multiverse approaching! *he gestures Val to come closer* What's up, luv?

Ann: huh would you look at that? he ran out and didn't even dry himself.*finishes up and throws on her stuff*
Mia: I know right? Pico wait up for us!
*in Snow's lab*
Val:…what are you 2 up to?
Doc: Drunk Science!
Snow: the best kind of science there is.
Val: I see…*notices the unopened can of Chaos Cola and remember's Mia's story*(he's lightly buzzed and so is doc…do I dare to do it now? To both of them? …maybe, but only after a few drinks. I want to see what this is all about. …oh who are you kidding Val? your going to forget after the first few drinks. save it for another day!) Mind if I join your little experimentation?
Doc: of course…the more the merrier.*pours her a mugs worth or rum*
Val: *with enthusiam*here's to Drunk Science!*clinks it together with their stuff*
Snow and Doc: TO Science!*they drink up*

pico:*skids to a stop as he waits*(oh thats right..)*flicks his fingers makeing every1 dry and change clothes*like your new clothes? *smiles*

Snow: *in a slurred drunken accent* Hey, hey doc. Listen…
Doc: What's on your mind?
Snow: Nononono, listen…
Doc: Okay?
Snow: Listen-
Doc: Yeah?
Snow: Listen-
Val: Yeah?
Snow: You must listen! *leaning on the table, he raises a finger and pauses, waiting for an unperceivable signal to continue* … What- now listen! … What if- *takes a huge sip* what if… if there's a pencil that… now hold on, you won't believe it… that draws everything just as you imagine? You're not bound to the limits of your skills as an artist anymore… Everything you draw turns out exactly like you imagine it! Line art, coloring, shading, special effects, everyting! … And that pencil… *he lets his hands wander through the air as if fencing an imaginary logo* … would never break when you sharpen it! … Ehh, forget that, listen, listen dammit! *again unnecessary long silence* … It would never blunt at all!

Ann: they look real nice.
Mia: thanks pico.*pecks him on the cheek*
*back in the lab*
Val: No. Way. that would be that would be genius.
Doc: yeha. much better. than sexy fruit punch on the beach.
Val: hey, hey doc-
Doc: yeha?
Val: what doy you think of snow?*drunken chuckles*
Doc:What do I- oh that's easy. *puts his arm around Snow* I think hes a…da greatest Son I could ask fo'. best Scientist in da universe,den outta den. I love ya man!*let's go and kiss the cat drawing*that one's fer ya.

*later*pico:man thar was great! id lie if i said i couldnt eat another bite though*he grins as they head back to picos place*

Jasmine: welcome home Pico, Mia, Ann. how was your day?
Mia: great! Pico helped me learn to swim!
